User-Friendly Design That Grows with Your Child
The Vigour is made with both your and your child's comfort and convenience in mind. First, to keep up with growth spurts, the removable seating unit, made of durable denier fabrics, conveniently attaches in either a forward or rear-facing position. While traveling, the easy-to-use, five-point harness keeps your child safe and secure. In addition, the stroller also conveniently folds flat with the seating unit attached; for an even more compact fold, you have the option of removing the seating unit.

Four Wheel Stability for a Smooth Ride
Your busy day and your child's curiosity can take you in a multitude of different directions--from around the park to the mall. That's why the Vigour boasts four swiveling and locking wheels with 12-inch pneumatic tires that can handle a wide variety of different terrain with ease. All-wheel suspension keeps things steady, and the dual rear brakes operate with just one quick touch should you need to make a sudden stop.

Comfort and Convenience
The Vigour gives your child a truly comfortable ride, thanks to the plush, ergonomic seating area with leg rest and removable arm bar. Infinite recline positions ensure that your child can lean back while napping or sit up to see the world--all at an angle that's perfect for him or her.

The generous over-sized storage basket is ideal for holding toys, snacks and extra clothes. The removable canopy is great for protecting baby's tender skin on sunny days, and the reflective piping ensures that on-coming vehicles and pedestrians can see your child, even in low-light conditions. The Vigour weighs just 29 pounds and measures 36.25 x 25.25 x 44 inches (WxHxD). It comes with a limited 1-year limited warranty.

Great Stroller
It took us some research to decide on this stroller, but we're very pleased with this purchase.
Pro: It has huge wheels that makes it very stable, sturdy. Perfect with the Companion infant seat. It's very nice looking and a lot cheaper than PegPrego, or Boogaboo, so you feel different when you go out (kind of like using AMEX black...) I have other mothers talking to me or smiling to me in the mall, because they have the same strollers!
Con: It's very big, so if you have a small car, it may not fit. Even with our Volvo XC 70, it feels cramped in the trunk. Without taking the seat off, it's almost impossible for a petite girl like me to lift it and put it in the car. And when this thing is in the trunk, forget about going grocery shopping.
Overall this is a very good stroller and I would recommend to anyone who has a big cargo space.

loved it. someone stole it..low!
I owned this and I loved it. The basket, the cup holders, it was all great. It was a little bulky, but not too bad and once you got rolling, it was great. The wheels worked well. I own a Peg Perrego and a Chicco and a jogger too. This was the best. I left it in a parking lot of a store after I loaded my child in the car and all the packages. I was preoccupied with a migraine headache and I drove off without it. When I went looking for it later, someone had taken it. Could have turned it in to a store. I hope they have bad luck. I am so mad about it.
